Tonic Trouble - PC Games

Tonic Trouble swirls together the run-and-jump action of a platform game with exploratory and puzzle-solving elements. Responsive controls, physical gags and varied gameplay solidify the positive experience in this expansive, kid-friendly title that is challenging enough for adults.

The game has an interesting system for gaining new attributes--players gather found objects and bring them to a mad doctor, who uses them to build gadgets worthy of James Bond. Skills acquired from the gadgets include flying, pogo-sticking, deep swimming and shooting bees from a blowpipe. Get into Tonic Trouble and help Ed get out of it. --Jeff Young
